    Lovely. The property's architecture and interior design flows perfectly within the city industrial-chic aesthetic, with a touch of organic, sustainable, modern vibe. The staff was super kind - particularly Sara - and the prices are honest. Our room was bit tinier than expected but the sunny balcony made up for it. The outdoors garden is the cherry on top - the sound of flowing water and seagulls make you forget that you're in the heart of Oporto's most iconic street. In short, a great place to stay and we'll comeback for sure.

The staff couldn't have been more attentive and professional, the hotel facilities and decor was of the highest quality (absolutely gorgeous interior design) and the breakfast was amazing... Make sure you get the eggs benedict and top up on the included mimosas! The rooftop pool was so relaxing and the location couldn't have been more central. Have recommended to so many friends already.
